PBA Is Treatable

Since Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA) episodes are unpredictable and can happen at inappropriate times, including in social situations, they can leave you feeling misunderstood and frustrated. The good news is that there is a treatment for PBA. 

NUEDEXTA is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for PBA. NUEDEXTA contains quinidine and should not be used concomitantly with other drugs containing quinidine, quinine, or mefloquine.

Please see additional IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

Understanding the efficacy of NUEDEXTA is important so patients know what they can expect when they go on treatment.

NUEDEXTA is
proven to reduce
PBA episodes

In a 12-week clinical trial of 326 PBA patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or multiple sclerosis that measured average daily episode rate vs. placebo, patients taking NUEDEXTA experienced an average of 3.9 fewer episodes per day compared with 6.8 episodes per day before taking NUEDEXTA. Patients taking placebo experienced an average of 3.0 fewer episodes per day compared with 4.5 episodes per day before taking placebo.

For me having a diagnosis and then having a treatment, it's made such a difference, in terms of the reduction in episodes.
